Just purchased one for the wife with 14" bar, she felt that her old Echo CS300 with 12" bar was in need of replacement (14 yrs.)

Seemed a little heavier and lots of plastic!!!!
She is going to Baptize it tomorrow.
We have several bars / chains in 12" from the CS300 if she decides to downsize.
She only does trimming and small stuff trail clearing, SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Yes Dear" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (don't wan't to say told you so)

Gotta love a new chainsaw.

In the saw fanatic world, it's common knowledge that Echos are tuned lean from the factory to meet emissions standards. Pulling the limiters from the carb adjusting screws and tuning the saw properly would be a good thing to do.

Thanks for the info,

Have done muffler mods etc. on the other saws, she insist that I leave hers alone as it under
warren tee. "Honey do you have a minute --------- Yes Dear!!!" :)

Yeah, I'm sure it would benefit greatly from a muffler mod, but I doubt she would notice the benefits, and might not like the noise. Trimming the carb limiters and tuning it a touch richer shouldn't bother her, though.

JMO 310 is gutless. I have worked on them and couldnt believe how under powered they were for the small 31cc saw.

Even the echo dealer wont get them in no more to sell. He said almost everyone he sells comes back with a broken plastic mount for tank underneath.

In other words DO NOT tug on saw if you pinch the bar on these. ;)
